Disclaimer: IMAA is not mine, if it was...well it's not so lets not go there...
Pepper shivered heavily as she stood at the doorway, waiting as Tony did his best to open the door to the armory a little more than it already was. Pepper thought about helping, but her shaky fingers and the warm blanket next to her, tempted her otherwise. He didn't need her help. He'd already made some progress…right?
She watched, the blanket tightly around her body, as Tony worked on opening the door. Every few minutes, the door seemed to budge a few inches. Or was it centimeters? As far as she knew, it was barely even moving.
Maybe she should help…
"Pepper, it's open enough for us to get out if we just bend down a bit." Tony said. Maybe not. "As long as you don't mind getting snow on your knees."
She shook her head. "I don't mind."
He smiled slightly and walked away from the door that was now, mercilessly letting cold air seep into the armory. Pepper stepped away from the door. She jumped when Tony came up behind her and kissed the back of her head.
"Scare you?" He asked as she turned around to slap his arm.
"No! Just startled." She said.
He just chuckled and slipped his arms under Pepper's arms. As he wrapped his arms tightly around Pepper's waist, Pepper draped the blanket around the two of them. He leaned his head down as she stretched up to meet his lips.
The instant the kiss started, the door let in a cold draft, causing Pepper to pull back with a shiver. Tony just moved back with her and chuckled against her lips. She rolled her eyes before she started to kiss him again. She giggled as he pinched her side a littler so, she poked his side.
They pulled apart and laughed. "Now then," Tony started as he stepped away. "Since this was your idea, lead the way!"
She stared at him for a moment, but ended up just rolling her eyes and started to head out the now half open door. "Fine, then I get the blanket."
She noticed Tony pout and she giggled. Together, they walked out the armory and into the cold, barren city.
Outside
"Wow, is it cold!" Tony said as they felt the cold fully.
"No kidding." Pepper said, hugging the blanket around herself.
The blanket had already soaked through at the bottom where it touched the snow covered ground. Pepper considered leaving it behind, but the warmth the dry gave her, was too good to resist.
"I'm starting to think this was a bad idea." Pepper mumbled to herself, but Tony heard her anyways.
"It was a bad idea from the start." Tony said.
The snow was piled high. It went up to the center of Pepper's thighs. And it was still snowing. Heavily. So heavy, neither of the well-sighted teens could see much more than a few feet ahead of them and even that was a snowy blur. Everything was white and blinding and cold and wet. It was dark, but the sun was going down so there was still a bit of light.
"Well get over it, cause I'm looking forward to getting to your house." Pepper said.
"Tell me why we have to go to my house." Tony said, holding his hand in front of his face.
"Your house is the closest and I'm betting you guys have more blankets than me." Pepper said.
Tony gave her a questioning look, but instead shook his head and offered his hand. Pepper took it and followed behind him. Tony slowly trudged through the thick snow and Pepper followed the tracks he made.
It was freezing and Pepper could already feel her lips freeze and her bones ache from the cold. Her pants already soaked over from when she had to stray away from Tony's tracks. Or when she tripped, that helped too.
They hardly made it more than two or maybe just one and a half blocks away from the armory before Pepper plopped down in the snow, burying herself. She even managed to pull Tony back and on top of her.
The two teens scrambled to untangle themselves, but when Tony was about to get up and off of her, she pulled him down and kissed him. He tried to pull back more in shock than anything else, but she just squeezed him tighter against her. Ignoring his weight. His lips felt as cold as hers must have been. Even his nose was cold, but she barely noticed since her face must have been the same freezing temperature.
Finally Tony shivered and pulled away from Pepper who was already gasping for breath. He stood up and grabbed the blanket that was below Pepper and pulled it out from below her.
"Just a moment, I need a moment." Pepper said laying her head back, ignoring the freezing wetness that touched her head.
Tony brushed the snow off of himself and waited as Pepper had her moment. That is before he heard something. At first he was unsure what it was. He was sure he imagined it until he heard it again, this time still very faint, but definitely a sound.
"Stay there Pepper. " Tony said, worried. "I'll be right back."
He didn't have his armor, because it had actually managed to freeze shut and every time they had tried turning it on before they left, it only partially opened, and now it was stuck like that. Tony was now determined that when this snow storm ends, he was going to fix that so it didn't freeze over like that again.
He climbed and stumbled around in the snow, wishing that he had something to defend himself if the noise was the source of something dangerous. Though he just went on through the snow, hoping that whoever it was, or whatever it was, was too cold to attack him.
It got quiet for a second and he lost where he was heading towards, so he paused as he waited for whoever it was to start making sounds again.
"Come on." He whispered to himself.
His head spun to the side when the sound started up again, this time a little louder and it was clear it was the sound of crying. It originated from a car a few feet away from himself. Now he was sure it was definitely not someone dangerous, but it was clearly someone one young and scared.
The car was buried in the snow. The snow seemed deeper here than it did by the armory and he wondered if the snow storm was heavier here and in the city than it was it the area of the armory. He wondered if the weather really didn't change that quickly.
He made it to the car and brushed off as much of the snow as he could from atop the car. The driver's door was open so he forced it open the rest of the way, clearing the way from snow. He peeked his head into the car and looked around, the crying had stopped. He looked around and almost hit his head on the top of the car in surprise.
In the back seat of the car, lay an infant baby girl.
Good? Bad? Huh? How was it? Be honest, was the little surprise at the end any good?
Went to the Lumineers concert yesterday and we had Suite seats, and it was really fun! There was COOKIES there! Lots of yummy cookies! though the people we shared the suite with, were very drunk...they even almost fell out of the suite balcony thingy...
Fun Fact: I have a semi-bad habit of needing, like absolutely having to have gum to chew on, since i will chew or bit my lips enough for them to bleed... -,- so, chewing gum keeps my lips nice and healthy and not all cut up...
On my profile I have put up a list of girl names for Baby Phase. So go check it out! Please?
Anyways, Review and stay AWESOMELY AMAZING! I wish I could thank you guys enough for staying with me for so long!
